Listen, this movie is absolutely insane and we're taking it on from all angle...

It's Halloween week so there's no better time to enjoy a "slashic" - and in our opinion, the more obscure the better! And this one certainly is!

Often maligned as "the worst horror film ever made", we think that nothing could be further from the truth! We dig into how this ultra-low-budget horror comedy has a lot to say about dangerously unchecked masculine ideals, and has cinematography that effectively makes the viewer uncomfortable. By investigating the history of microwaves as a cultural artifact, we're able to view Micr...

We return to the Crackerverse for the mystifying sequel that changes up all of the actors and all of the lore from the first film. Why?

Meanwhile, Cassie finds joy in Kateřina Brožová's crazy terrorist outfit and the fact that Jack uses a f...

On this episode we jump into the oddball comedy, Ninja Academy, part of the new-ish Nico Mastorakis collection on Arrow Player! Imagine Police Academy, but instead of police, it's ninja's. That's the long and short of the plot here, plus you've got super powered mimes, a member of Her Majesty's Secret Service, nude volleyball, and oh so much more! In addition to celebratin...

On our second episode we're shifting gears and trying to decipher the puzzling underground sci-fi film, Flaming Ears! This Austrian, lesbian arthouse mindbender is chock full of aliens eating armadillos, religious terrorists, vampires, cacti, and of course a whole lot of pee. Not to mention some wild stop motion animation and tons of elaborate miniature sequences. What does it all mean? Well....

In our very first episode, we are joined by cinematographer Ryan Kroboth to break down this woefully underrated 80's splatter flick! We take a deep dive into how the film serves as a metaphor for addiction and how the filmmakers' use of color and camera tricks take the film to the next level, making critical observations and statements about society's relationship with the darker si...
